                                                               Hue Citadel

* Located on the northern bank of the Perfume River, the Imperial City of Hue was not only the administrative centre but also the royal residence of the Nguyen Dynasty.

*Its construction began under the reign of Emperor Gia Long in the early 19th century and it was completed during the reign of Minh Mang, involving huge expenditure and the recruitment of tens of thousands of labourers.

*The Citadel comprises three concentric walled areas: the Citadel (Kinh Thanh), the Imperial City (Hoang Thanh) and the Purple Forbidden City (Tu Cam Thanh). The entire square-shaped complex with a perimeter of nearly 10 km is enclosed within the outer walls which are 6.6 m high and 21.5 m thick.

* Gates were built into the Citadel walls - four on the south front side and two on each of the other sides.

*During the Nguyen Dynasty, there used to be more than 100 buildings dedicated to specific functions such as palaces for worshipping deceased royal family members, royal government ministries and residential quarters. The Purple Forbidden City was reserved exclusively for the emperor and his close family.

*The restoration work is currently under way to restore the splendour of this iconic site.

*Hue Citadel was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

Nonfiction Reading Test 

Koko 

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Refer to the text  to check your answers when appropriate. 

Did you know that humans aren't the only  species that use language? Bees communicate by  dancing. Whales talk to each other by singing.  And some apes talk to humans by using  American Sign Language. 

Meet Koko: a female gorilla born at the San  Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned  sign language from her trainer, Dr. Penny  Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign  language to Koko in 1972, when Koko was one  year old. Koko must have been a good student,  because two years later she moved onto the  Stanford University campus with Dr. Patterson.  Koko continued to learn on the campus until  1976. That's when she began living full-time  with Patterson's group, the Gorilla Foundation.  Patterson and Koko's relationship has blossomed  ever since. 

Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign  language. She says that Koko knows over 1,000  words, and that Koko makes up new words. For  example, Koko didn't know the sign for ring, so  

she signed the words finger and bracelet. Dr.  Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and  constructive use of language.  

Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some  argue that apes like Koko do not understand the  meaning of what they are doing. Skeptics say  that these apes are just performing complex  tricks. For example, if Koko points to an apple  and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give  her an apple. They argue that Koko does not  really know what the sign apple means. She only  knows that that if she makes the right motion,  one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she  gets an apple. The debate is unresolved, but one  thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary  ape. 

Sign language isn't the only unusual thing about  Koko. She's also been a pet-owner. In 1983, at  the age of 12, researchers said that Koko asked  for a cat for Christmas. They gave Koko a  stuffed cat. Koko was not happy. She did not  play with it, and she continued to sign sad. So  for her birthday in 1984, they let her pick a cat  out of an abandoned liter. Koko picked a gray  cat and named him "All Ball." Dr. Patterson said  that Koko loved and nurtured All Ball as though  he were a baby gorilla. Sadly, All Ball got out of  Koko's cage and was hit by a car. Patterson  reported that Koko signed "Bad, sad, bad" and  "Frown, cry, frown, sad" when she broke the  news to her.  

It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good  relationship, but not everyone agrees with it.  Some critics believe that Patterson is humanizing  the ape. They believe that apes should be left in  the most natural state possible. Even Dr.  Patterson struggles with these feelings. When  asked if her findings could be duplicated by  another group of scientists, she said, "We don't  think that it would be ethical to do again." She  went on to argue that animals should not be kept  in such unnatural circumstances. Nonetheless,  Koko lives in her foundation today. 

As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla  Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape  preserve in Maui, but they are having trouble  securing the land. So unless you have a few  million dollars to spare, Koko's going to be  spending her time in Woodland, California with  Dr. Patterson. Koko probably doesn't mind that.  If she moved to Hawaii, she'd have to give up  her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she's  got like 50 thousand "likes." Some may deny  that she knows sign language, but nobody says  that she doesn't know social networking.
